i am a born again christian, not a jehovah's witness.

i have had many experiences with god, hearing god's voice, seeing minor miracles, have seen a woman healed instantly through prayer in jesus name.

what is your view on the miraculous.

God is an eternal God, what we do in this life will effect our eternity. Even a person who dies of starvation has the ability to live eternally. God does not need to save people who are starving, as his long term plan already allows for it. He does not even need people to witness for him, as he has the ability to talk to people and give them the opportunity of eternal life. The question is will you live forever, or will you suffer eternally for wanting sin more than God. You can make your self blind to the truth by calling me a lier, what do you have to gain by your arguments, a life time of living how you want, ignoring God's message a part of which is to give to the poor. A thing you accuse the church of not doing, however most well known aid organisations were started by the church. The aid organisation that I give to is run by a church group. Atheism and sin have nothing to add to this world, no morals, no absolutes, no law to give, God at least has filled the bible with messages about giving to the poor.

Beginning of the Creation of God

by FutureAndAHope in

where talking of jesus the king james version says:.

... the beginning of the creation of god rev 3:14this can be confusing because it sounds like jesus was the first created being.

but as we will see this is not the case.

Where talking of Jesus the King James version says:

… the beginning of the creation of God Rev 3:14

This can be confusing because it sounds like Jesus was the first created being. But as we will see this is not the case. The Greek word translated beginning is as follows (from Strongs):

G746
arche¯
ar-khay'

From G756; (properly abstract) a commencement, or (concrete) chief (in various applications of order, time, place or rank): - beginning, corner, (at the, the) first (estate), magistrate, power, principality, principle, rule.

You will notice the word has various meanings and we will discus some of them. Take

“I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me” - Act 11:5

The word corner in the verse above also uses the word arche¯, an arche¯ can be a corner. We will discuss why this is relevant latter. Also note

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him”: , Col 1:16

The word arche¯ is used above for ruler, or power. Why, well lets discuss some English words, arch and archangel are English words that have their root in arche¯. But what is an arch, it is similar to a triangular shape, as is a corner in Acts 11:5. Why is ruler a valid expression from the word, well a ruler is the top most piece under which you find others, rulership is like a triangle too, the top point is the King, or supreme ruler, the lower you go in the triangle are princes, governors, then at the bottom the common man. So you see the word in revelation does not need to mean the first creation, it can mean “the ruler of the creation of God”, or the “Origin of the creation of God”, both translations fit perfectly with the view that Jesus is God, he both rules, and is the originator of creation, as Col 1:16 says “For by him were all things created”, and note they were created “for him”, and we know the creation was created for God.

Why would Gd help you and ignoreall those kids in starving Africa ? Is he blind or are you simply making stuff up ?

If you spent the time to read my website you would see one of my topics is the sound Christian reasons to give to the poor. I have always given to the poor. And as for making stories up what do I have to gain from doing it, to be called crazy, that is what some people do, who wants to be seen as a loonatic, believe me I don't make up stories, I serve a real God. I know God. He is a good God. As for the poor, he does his best to motivate Christians to give to the poor. But it is the task of every one to do it. One day all poverty will be ended. But in this time we all have the chance to make a difference in our world.

Cofty said "

Bullshit. When god heals an amputee come back and tell me about it."

There was a story out of mexico of a person who had their head amputated from a truck rolling over their head. The church prayed for hours and the persons head came back onto thier body and they came alive again. God's power is unlimited, we as people are limited in what we can achieve but God is limitless. The bible says Jesus holds all things together by his own power, if he holds even our very atoms together there is no reason why he can't do the miraculous.

Hi,

Witness my fury said "Ah but you do, ...you have eye witness testimony to at least one resurection of the dead dont you?".

I have not actually seen it with my eyes, but I believe the person who said they have seen it. I have seen miracles, and I believe other people who have seen them too. WHy is it so hard for you to believe God raises the dead, he did it when he was alive on earth. He said we can do the same things he did. I have seen healing, and heard God speaking, or had him reveal special knowlege to me. It is just logical to me that God can do the other things that he said he can do. As for raising of the dead this is the Website of the guy who has seen it http://www.freedom-ministries.us/.

All things given to us

by FutureAndAHope in

2pe 1:3 "his divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the full knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence".. it is my concern having read some post here that too much faith is put in the groverning body of the jehovahs witnesses.

the bible says that a believer has everything needed for life and godliness, through the direct revelation of god.

people don't need too have people to govern their lives, as god is the one who governs.. mans opinions are not always correct, only god is a refuge.

Perfect1 "If God is talking to you, it would be wrong for you not to write a book. That is what you do. Dont let Him down. Congratulations on being Divinely Inspired." God does not talk to me enough to write a book. I am not really divinely inspired as you say. Sure God has spoken from time to time, and done stuff that is of a divine nature. But I don't have anything worth writting about. A website, which I currently have, serves me well enough for now.

Witness my fury said "Raised the dead? Did you really just say that?"

It might seem forign to you, but Jesus raised the dead back to life. Those people who are born of Gods spirit can do the same miracles that Jesus did. Jesus said:

Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Bio metrics said "In over 30 years as a JW I heard of many modern-day miracles from the platform, but never saw one first-hand.", what type of miracle did you hear about?

Cofty said "Just not proper miracles though?".

God can do amazing things. WIth in our denomination there are people that have raised the dead back to life again. Healed people in wheel chairs and alsorts of amazing things. Just because I have only done one healing, and some other minor miracles does not mean they are unimportant. Anything God does is important.
